And I also pray that they sometime make a Planetarian anime. First vbook to make me cry. That thing so needs an OAV or a movie. A TV series may be a bit too long. I'd also prefer OAV for the bigger budget. Not that they'd need to spend a fortune on VA's.

The story of planetarian isn't really interesting enough IMO since it'll mostly be about two "beings" living inside a planetarium. The part where the animation could really show off is secondary to the story. Also, you have to ask yourself: did the ending make you cry or Reverie's projection? Alas, IMO, planetarian deserves a one hour OAV at most.

Anyway, I'm very excited about the new Kanon production and I guess the good animation will be another reason for me to finally buy the DVDs. The first version is IMO one of the best anime out there, which is second to AIR only because of the animation. Story-wise, well... it's Key's tale. ^^;

Just because it isn't a hit mainstream doesn't mean it did not make money.

Of course it made money.

But compared to mainstream big hits DVD sales internationally??

Yes, I do think Air is good enough for that.

I noticed GSD sales are over 600000...

Note:
Key wouldn't even licence its series' TV animations to other countries (correction: once- Air got licenced to a chinese company for an astronomical amount of money).
Which is why Air/Kanon/Clannard are not licenced in US.

I really liked how they followed the original game scenes in that small trailer. Not only do they look amazingly detailed, it has the artistic touch Kyoani is best known for.. Mikoto's scene in the field was one of my best memories coming from that game. The second I saw that animated in the trailer, I knew that this will not dissapoint.

oohh... got goosebumps when Last Regrets was playing in the background.

It's always "original bishoujo game music" for the win. Some game-based anime don't use the original game's soundtrack, or even just the OP/ED. KyoAni got their cards right by using Key's original music for Air (and now Kanon). It keeps the original intention of the game inplace.

Very prettiful indeed. Now, if only I can get my hands on a higher resolution version of that trailer... Spring (Autumn to you northerners) can't come too soon. In fact, depending on when it airs, 'twill almost be like a birthday present for me

Countdown: Kanon 2006, beginning ^^

Works fine for me... should come up with a page with a 'Download Now' link - if you'd prefer, the direct link to that file (may or may not work directly, does for me, but hey, mileage may vary ^_^) can be obtained here: clicky.
